How To: GIT repository on Solaris 10

Last year I did replace my SVN software repository with GIT.

Last moth I began to use GIT also at the office because I will be able to roll back the experimentations sometimes I do in my projects. The history of the Eclipse IDE isn't enough to archive the goal. GIT creates locally a full featured repository with tags and branches. Any time I may switch to a different branch, so I may work, at the same time, on the mainstream and on the experimental features.

Blogging with Android: Blogaway, Wordpress


Last month I decided to buy a smartphone. I'm a UNIX developer since long time: my choice the HTC Desire.

Display

The display of the smartphone is limited in space. The layout of my blog on Blogger may be squeezed and is readable even with the zoom function.

The layout I use on Wordpress isn't readable on the smartphone, but the mobile site of Wordpress is really good.

Blogging

At the beginning everything seemed unconfortable, but once I did understand how to work, what to select and in which sequence bloggging was easy.

Blog-Away

Blogaway is a Blogspot client for Android. It's everything I need to write down my ideas.

This article was written using the smartphone and Blogaway travelling by train.

Each article may be published as draft and improved later on the PC. The text may be formatted using bold, italic or a color. It is possible to add links, pictures and videos. You may scroll the text very quickly. I like this application because it is simple and efficient.

You may find more informations about Blogaway on blogspot.com or on  Twitter.

WordPress

Conclusion

Bogging with the smart-phone is possible as additional way to add articles. It is suitable for short and simple text.

If a blog is readable or not depends on the theme.
